Default Bonnet Rams

On the 250 I fitted some uprated bonnet rams, these lasted a year but slowly stopped supporting the bonnet. If you pump the bonnet up and down it will hold. SCS did send me a replacement set FOC and these are still holding up.

On the boot I have an MGB style stay, mechanical, lift the boot it stays open, lift it a little more and you can then close it.

Now on the Daytona I have just acquired, it has mix of 2 in 1. The bonnet struts are hydraulic, but to close the bonnet you have to lift it a little first and then it will release. The bonnet is very heavy and rams on their own wouldn't hold it up, hence the mechanical part.
Question is, has anyone come across a similar type of ram and if so any Idea where I might get some for the 250?
